Dee, I don't beleive they do pay port charges, but I also don't think any ship on any line would skip a port for reasons like that. They would be crazy to do such a thing, especially right now with everyone looking for compensation. I agree with you about the $50. NCL may feel as long as clients were offered the chance to cancel they do not need to re-emburse. I do not agree. As for Carnival and the 1 day delay; that is a little different, your cruise was cut short by one day. If this was the situation on the Dream I too would expect something, but missing a port does not automatically make us entitled to a rebate, if you are paying for 7 days and only get a 6 day cruise that is different.
